In SuperCard you can open the file in a text editor or extract the
text with a read from file command. It will be garbled, but you can
reverse engineer it cause the object names and scripts are all
there. Or does Rev protect the file contents better (are they in
byte code?

Anyone know if it's possible to recover a stack from a (what I

temp file?
On OS X, doing a search for a file that has the name of a stack I'm
currently working on yields several files named myFile.rev~ which
I assume
are temp files created during each save of the stack.
Unfortunately, the
Find dialog doesn't let me access these files, or show where they
are
stored. Is there any way to recover one of these files?
I presume you have searched & found the stack using Spotlight.
Select "Show All" in the Spotlight menu to show the found items in a
Finder window.
Then selecting any of the found files will show the full path at the
bottom of the Finder window.
You can also right-click on any item and choose "Copy...." and then
paste it somewhere visible.
That's the problem. The filenames show up, but their icons are
displayed as
a dotted outline (no icon), no file path is displayed at the bottom
of the
Search window, and essentially there is no way I can find to access
the
files.
When something goes wrong while saving a stack, Rev creates a
backup file
with the hope being one can recover work from the backup. I think
these are
the same files files, but when a save executes successfully,
something is
done to them so they don't show up normally in the Finder.
